Using the photodetachment technique we investigated the hydrogen negative ion density in the extraction region of a magnetically filtered multicusp ion source when argon is added to hydrogen. We found that the negative-ion density goes up at most by a factor of 1.5 when argon is added to low base hydrogen pressure (0.05 or 0.1 Pa), but goes down when argon is added to higher initial hydrogen pressure (0.5 or 1 Pa). Adding argon did not enhance the Werner and Lyman bands in the vacuum ultraviolet, which indicates that argon addition does not increase the production rate of vibrationally excited H2 molecules. The increase of the negative-ion density by adding argon into a low-pressure hydrogen discharge is probably due to the increase of the low-energy electron density.
